| SPOR-TA.. damn. this route with full winter conditions is def a little suntin suntin.. able to climb full ridge but had to forego the true summit because 80mph were trying to throw us off the mtn so we listened :0. getting down proved to be a hell of an adventure.. started backtracking on ridge but wind was so off the chain had to drop down.. many hours filled with raps off trees as big as sticks, crossing steep snow chutes, savage wind and cold. finally back to lake.. arrived truck 2am. quality day .. grateful for skilled, cool headed partner. i will walk away from this one with many lessons learned. thanks Steve. |
